Doomsday 1983 Contest

Mitro over at the Alternate History Weekly Update has a contest up and running, and I'm a bit ashamed to only now get around to get the word out about it.

Last Thursday, I wrote a showcase on 1983: Doomsday.  Korsgaard wisely pointed out that I should have posted it on September 26th, to celebrate the day where one sane man saved us all.  After berating myself for my lack of vision, I came up with a new idea!

I present to you "The Oral History of Doomsday" Contest.  For those who remember my tensure as admin on Alternate History Online, this will be a writing contest open to everyone.  All submissions must be in the form of interviews with someone alive today in the 1983: Doomsday universe who also survived Doomsday itself.

All questions and submissions may be submitted to ahwupdate@gmail.com.  All submissions must be sent to that email email address before September 26, 2011.  Depending on the number of entries, I will either post the one I think was the best on September 26 or I will post the top entries over that week and allow the readers to vote for the best one.

Good luck!

I originally intended to take part, writing an interview with my fictional self in that universe, but there's just no way I would have survived a 1983 Doomsday scenario. Why? Well, take a look at this picture. It's all 20 kilometers around where I lived back then, and all the pink circles are valid strategic targets... [image error] Yeah, I'd have been fucked.
